At Levels 4 and 5, you will develop an understanding of the production process, working on corporate projects, music promos, adverts and stings, develop your business skills and learn to work in the technical and creative roles of film/video production. Residential field trips and visits to advertising and production companies, form a major part of the course and are coordinated throughout Levels 4, 5 and 6.
